Scarlett's POVWe remained chatting on the balcony when a maid approached us with a spray bottle. She knelt before Jayden, offering it to him, and he retrieved it from her."You can leave," he dismissed her, and she immediately stood up and hurriedly left, while we watched her retreat. It wasn't oblivious that she was an omega like me.The fragrance of the spray when Jayden unsealed the cover caught my attention, and I diverted my eyes to it.We both observed it, and while Jayden was busy reading its content, all that caught my attention was seduction."Perfect seduction, it's worth millions," he shifted it from my intense gaze, and I averted it."It seems it's for seduction. Perfect erect seduction, it's absolutely for seduction, so you bought the wrong spray. Could it be you want to seduce a woman? Who is that lucky goddess that finally caught your attention?""If anyone tells you that I want to seduce or have an affair with a woman, Scarlett would you believe them?""Of course, I
Scarlett's POVNow, I was seated in the room where I would shave my hair. The man Jayden had introduced as Jaxon stood behind me, arranging his equipment. I silently prayed that he would work quickly, as he seemed to be taking his time."Mrs. Ryan?""Yes?""Why are you giving out such a weird fragrance?" My face paled immediately, and I facepalmed, pinching my cheeks."It isn't coming from me, it's from a passing maid," I replied immediately. But then I felt his fingers stroking my face, down to my cleavage, and I stiffened."What are you doing!!?" I half yelled, and he seemed to snap out of whatever he was falling into."I'm doing nothing, Mrs Ryan. It's just that there is this strange fragrance protruding from you, and it's overwhelming." I bit my lower lip, gradually shaking my head. I looked from the mirror to confirm if the door was open, and luckily for me it was wide open."Thanks for your compliments, but could you please start already so that I'll leave with this overwhelmi
Scarlett's POVHe approached me and squatted in front of me. He looked as stunning as always, and a strange feeling coursed through me. A Very Important Tycoon was right in front of me. Not only that, he was also an Alpha."Scarlett?" he called again, causing me to snap out of the trance his beauty had put me in."Yes?" I answered simply, continuing to chew on my cheese.He remained silent for a while, his gaze fixed on me. I felt completely uncomfortable, but didn't make it obvious."Just 'yes'? Scarlett, tell me, where are your manners?" He asked calmly, and again, I stopped chewing on my cheeses, which I had been doing casually."I'm sorry, Alpha Ryan, but I think I left them at home. I wasn't given a chance to carry my belongings along with me."His facial expression changed, and I wondered if I had done something wrong."Why don't you follow instructions, Scarlett?""Instructions..." I muttered under my breath. It suddenly dawned on me that I had answered him with a simple 'yes'
Scarlett's POVI didn't know where the courage came from, but the words spilled out before I could stop them. That wasn't good courage, it was a dead wish. I shouldn't have said that. I gnashed my teeth painfully, wishing not to have said that, but it spilled out before I could realize I wasn't supposed to say such a thing to him. I was sincerely tired, I only told him the truth."What did you say?" he asked, and I noticed a combination of bewilderedness and anger in his voice, but I remained silent, not daring to meet his gaze. I had touched the tail of a lion.Suddenly, he yanked my hair up, and I winced as our eyes met. This was exactly why I wanted to shave off all my hair, he doesn't know the pain I endured whenever he pulled my hair like this. I saw a flash of anger in his eyes, but my gaze then fell on the gun in his hands, and my eyes widened. Would he really kill me as I've said?Using the gun, he lifted my face, and my breath hitched as I felt the cold metal against my chi
Scarlett's POVI couldn't utter a word, neither could I do anything about it."Yelling at me wasn't the right option, Scarlett.""But I didn't yell at you.""So I'm lying?""I half yelled, I didn't yell.""What's the difference?""It's half.""So the other is full? Scarlett, you're out of your mind. Me making decisions for you means that you tell me what you want, and if I don't like it, you choose something else. How difficult is that?""That's my point.""What is your point?" He asked with squinted eyes, staring at me as if I was losing my mind."What if what you don't want is what I want?""You'll have to give up what you want and accept what I want.""You can't be serious.""Say that again, and let's see what happens," he dared. But I didn't say a word; I just pressed my lips together tightly.Everything fell silent, and I heaved a sigh, thinking he wouldn't ask me any more questions. But then, he spoke again."Why did you want to shave every strand of hair on your head?"That was
Scarlett's POVThe pain I felt flooded my senses, and I had the sudden urge to cry."Ryan…" I moaned his name, feeling both pleasure and pain, which was confusing."Ryan… it's becoming intense," I said, gasping for breath as I winced."What's becoming intense?"His breath brushed against my sensitive spot as he spoke, making me shudder. He didn't pull away, instead, he continued pushing his tongue deeper into my wet pussy."Ouch… it's the pain. What are you doing?"My teeth were clenched, and my hands covered my mouth to stifle any cries of pain. I sucked on my bottom lip, resting my head on the headrest of the sofa, moaning in pain.All this was an act to prevent myself from crying out and pushing him off me. I could feel the pleasure, but the pain was also present."You're damn wet and tight, Scarlett. I'm preparing you for when we'll mate, so it wouldn't be difficult, and you'll be ready for me. But if it's too painful, you can hold my head and pull me closer," he explained, pushin
Scarlett's POVI handed him the towel, noticing that he still had his black gloves on. He took it from me with his left hand, replacing the blood-soaked towel from his nose. He placed the soaked one in my hands, but the blood continued to flow. It was still flowing as freely as before.I felt his gaze on me as he handed me the bloody towel, but my eyes remained fixated on his gloves.Why does he always wear gloves?Could this be part of his illness?"Ryan, are you sure you're okay? Should we go to a hospital?" I asked, looking down at the bloodied towel."Don't repeat what you just said, Scarlett," he warned, hitting me on the head. There was a clear warning in his voice, and I nodded.He stared at my hair without turning away, so I reached up to touch my head and see if there was something there. He slapped my hand away, and I quickly pulled it back, hid it behind me, and soothed the sting I felt from his slap.I blinked at him in confusion, wondering what was going on, but he did
Harper's POVSeated in my luxurious room, I focused on my phone while chatting with my friends. I had just returned from overseas last week and was spending my vacation with my family, in my dad's villa. It had been a long time since I visited my pack due to my studies abroad. Now, as a graduate in accounting, I was a professional accountant.I'm the only daughter of Alpha Cromwell, belonging to the wildlife pack. At twenty-eight, with brown hair and chestnut eyes, I hadn't found my mate yet. So, upon my return, I decided to throw a grand get-together party, which my dad had approved. It was happening tonight, and all my childhood friends were invited. I hoped to find my mate among the attendees, but if not, I'd have to search in other packs.I desired a mate wealthier than myself, as my father was one of the richest Alphas globally. I heard a knock on the door and placed my phone on the floor beside my bed. Rising from the floor, I headed to the door to check who was there. After
Ryan POV She suddenly bursted into laughter, and after staring at her for a while, I also joined her, but when everyone joined the laughter of shock, her face paled."Ryan, what is going on? Why does she look like me? Why are they all here?" She asked me again."Scarlett, you know I love you and would never lie to you anymore?" I asked, and she nodded."So now, I want you to believe me that Gianna, your late mum, and Easton aren't your parents, they're your aunt and uncle. These people here are your biological parents, I did DNA myself. If you were living with these people when you were little, your childhood would have been awesome, you wouldn't have gotten parents who hated you and didn't really care about your well being, but you got switched, your late mum exchanged you. She's not your mum, she's your aunt, she wanted her daughter, which is the original Scarlett, to live a luxurious life, while they pulled you into their shit. Easton has been arrested, and he confessed. I'll play
Ryan POVIt has been a week now, and Scarlett hasn't woken up, but has been discharged alongside the kids.We're been staying in Raven's Villa, since it wouldn't tok proper to abandon it. Wherever he was, he would be happy that the kids stayed in his house.Jayden stayed with Scarlett and the kids, alongside with the maids who were staying with her when she left the mansion to leave alone. They were trustworthy, so I had transferred them over to take care of her.I had returned to my pack for Raven's burial, and after that, I visited the royal family to do a DNA test, since I had gone with strands of Scarlett hair, and the results were shocking.My Dawson couldn't believe it, it was like I brought chaos into their always peaceful home.But when we did DNA with Ava's hair, it was even more shocking than it didn't match at all, which explained the fact that Scarlett is the original daughter. The Royal Family had no idea of who Scarlett was, and demanded to be taken to their real daught
Ryan POVI went back to Raven's house, and saw that the gammas had already left with his phone.I remained in his office, crying and regretting everything I had done to Scarlett.I spent hours praying and crying, and my heart was bleeding. Why am I an Alpha if I couldn't protect those that I loved? I couldn't save the raven from dying, and now I still can't save Scarlett. What is the extent of having such stupid power which can't raise up the dead? I couldn't explain the extent at which I hated myself, I felt so bad.I had transferred all the power I had in me to Scarlett when I was carrying her out of that building, so that she would be able to conceive the child, and also survive, and I was desperately praying to the moon goddess to make it work."Jayden, meet in Raven's Villa, we have some unfinished business to take care of," I said to Jayden through a mind link, my angry voice sounding like that of an unleashed demon.Ryan has always been called a demon, it's time to unleash out
Ryan POVThe men in the room exclaimed in shock, gasping, even Jayden, and it startled me.It was Scarlett, unconscious, her two hands tied up, and her mouth was gagged. But the worst of all was that she had a silver knife buried inside her pregnant stomach, and her white dress and pants were covered in coated blood.I staggered backwards, too shocked to do anything, so Jayden ran inside and began loosening her.The gammas also went to help, while I remained standing outside, and watched as the men immediately loosened her and carried her unconscious body out of the wall to where she could receive ventilation.They've suffocated her in that little space with no ventilation."She's still alive, she needs more breeze," Jayden announced, and immediately took off his shirt and began fanning her.The rest of the men did the same thing, and I could feel the breeze from where I was standing, leaned on the wall for support."Her water has broken, take her to a hospital," I managed to recover
Ryan POV We pulled up in the location sent to us, but was met with a heartbreaking sight.The Villa looks as though it has been visited by thugs.The details I found inside the villa explained that we were in the right place, it was my younger brother's house, but I couldn't find him or Scarlett."Could they have been abducted?" I asked, and turned to my Beta who was seated on the couch."I have no idea, Ryan. I think I saw something outside, it looks weird, I think we should check it out." Jayden stood up from where he was seated and began going outside, and I followed behind him.He led me to the garden which was at the back of the house, but the sight that welcomed us left us speechless."Raven?" I called, my eyes scanning his figure which was on the floor in the garden.I slowly approached him. I couldn't tell how I felt right now, but I was staring at the lifeless body of my younger brother, who had a silver knife buried inside his heart."Raven?" I called again, and squatted be
Ryan POVI raised my head slowly, thoughts about Scarlett racing in my mind. The possibility of being able to survive silver despite losing her wolf was having a meaning now, but I snapped out of the trance."This can't be possible, she can't possibly be exchanged at birth.""That's what the portrait is trying to tell us. The baby with blue eyes is the daughter of the Dawson's family, and is named Ava, while the baby with emerald eyes is the daughter of the Easton's family, and is named Scarlett. But right now, everything has been twisted.""Does this mean Scarlett is –""Don't mention, don't even mention it," Jayden interrupted, pacing in the room."Are you sure Scarlett doesn't have emerald eyes and we've just forgotten about it due to her absence?" I diverted my eyes to the television when Jayden's question sank in. The picture was paused on the twins, so I stood up, picked up the remote I had thrown away, and pressed the play button.Scarlett pictures, blue eyes, naturally red li
Ryan POVAfter Scarlett asked if the reason I was caring wasn't because of my child, I heard her question clearly, but chose to remain silent.I knew the answer to her question, but I had to be cautious with what I said. This lady was dying in my arms, and I didn't know what to do.The truth was that I've always cared about Scarlett.Her body went numb in my arms immediately she finished talking, and she passed out.I placed my head on her chest, checking if she was still breathing, and relief washed over me when I heard her faint heartbeat."I love you, I've always loved you, but failed to realise it. I've realised it now, that's the more reason you need to stay, I want both of you. You've struggled to accommodate him inside you, so why now? I know I hurt you, but the feelings were strange at that time," I cried, holding her protectively. I refused to give too much thought about what I was doing. I was crying over a she-wolf, but this she-wolf is the mother of my child, if anything h
Scarlett POV I was thrown away from where I was standing in front of Ryan, and was now a distance away from him.I knew my spinal cord had been damaged, and the child in my stomach had twisted really bad, to a very bad position, and I felt the air knocked out of my throat.I couldn't do anything, I couldn't move a muscle, my stomach hooked in a scary position.I remained seated on the floor, staring at Ryan's back which was facing me, and I managed to make a weak whimper.I wasn't even whimpering, I couldn't even whimper, I was only making muffled sounds like a badly wounded introvert cat.He glanced back at me, but seeing the condition I was in, unable to stand up, he rushed towards me.He tried raising me to my feet, but I cried out in pain, my legs feeling like rubber.He was scared, I could see it in his eyes, this is the first time I've seen him this scared, and it made me wonder how bad my situation was.He didn't know where to touch and raise me up, because I felt pain anywher
Scarlett POVIt injured him, but he remained seated on the couch, staring at the floor without muttering a single word.I threw the remaining part of the bucket in my hand on him, and began searching for anything I would use to hit him."You're a terrible monster!" I yelled, and began throwing the cushions on him.I threw all the cushions on the couch on him, before I proceeded to throw the cushions on his bed on him.I was breathing hard when I finished, but he still remained seated on the couch without doing anything."You're definitely going to kill me today, because if you don't, then I will kill you. You don't deserve to live," I said angrily, my cold eyes watching him, before I stumped away from him.I began destroying everything my hands could reach in his room, not minding how expensive they are.I pulled down his television from where it was hanging, and let it fall to the floor.The screen cracked immediately and landed on the floor with a thud, and I proceeded to destroy th
